Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

H. Res. 26 is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives that officially deems certain conduct of Antifa members and unlawful conduct at Antifa-affiliated demonstrations as domestic terrorism. The text outlines a long list of past events, riots, property damage, and attacks on law enforcement attributed to Antifa members and groups across various cities. Based on these findings, the resolution formally designates Antifa and its subsidiaries as a domestic terrorist organization. Additionally, it calls on the Department of Justice to prosecute these crimes and use all available tools to combat the spread of domestic terrorism committed by the group.
